Hi - Is it typical to get a short expiration date, and should I keep or return? I received early April 2014 a bag that says it expires October 2014.

I would not be too concerned about the expiration date. I believe toasted sesame seeds will keep indefinitely.

I have only ordered it once and that was in the last 2 months and my bag is dated for January 2016.

i bought my 10 lb bag in the year 2011. About 1 1/2 years ago. The expiration date on the label states 6/2015. This bag will you last you a very long time.

Hmm, everyone seems to be getting ones with 1-2 year expiration dates. Mine expires 7 months from now (bought Oct. 17, 2015, expires May 2016). :/

Usually the expiration date is many months away... the bag I most recently bought, the expiration date is Sept. 19, 2014. I put some into freezer bags this time. Sometimes I use a lot of flour, but sometimes I do not.

I'm guessing you're wanting to ask the seller, because each bag is different. As for mine, it was within date (still had about 6 months) but still tasted bad. It was burnt.

That's not an expiration date, that is the date when it was made. It will still be fresh, because it's in a sealed bag.

My expiration date is April, 2014. I do not remember when I bought these, but there are not many left, so the April expiration date is not a problem for me. And I bought the single bags for use in a one cup machine. These seem to go fast at my house. Hope this helps.

i just found out that the expiry date is April, 2014, I thought it would be later than the this , cause my due delivery date is March, 25th, i am afraid that it would expire before i even begin to take it.

the last order I received about 2 months ago bags had expire date of 11/2014, so I would think this group will be about January 2015.

The one bag I have, that I was just about to throw out for it's all gone, has an expiration date of 7/2014. I think the dates are far enough out that you will use up the bag pretty quick. Especially if you 'treat' by the guidelines - 6/day for maint., 12/day for flare-ups.

You need to check with the people you order from for date of expiration. I never have mine long enough to worry about that, it's always fresh.

There is no information on the bag, or expiration date, but I would expect the shelf life of an unopened bag would be almost indefinite if kept in a cool, dry place. If you are using the tea regularly, its quality should be fine for as long as it takes you to use a bag. They are dried herbs, so again, store in a cool, dry place and it should be fine.

I don't know the "usual" expiration date, but the bag I purchased 8/2014 is good through 3/2016.

I bought mine from another vender. Just looked at the expiration date and it is an expired item. Never noticed before. However, I have been using and did not notice the difference. Since I did not ingest the product, I am not concerned, but will be careful the next time I order. Glad you asked the question. Made me more aware.

The bag that I received had expiration date of October 2014 I think. We used the gummys as part of party favors and it went well. I hope this helps.

Interesting, the bags purchased from Amazon hove no lot# or expiration date and I compared to a bag from Costco and easily found the information. What's up Amazon?

I have never noticed an expiration date, but I have an eight lb dog and she takes 2 months to finish a small bag. I always store it in a sealed canister and keep it dry.
